would be nice to have "intelligent wires".

then this path can be rendered with lines, bezier, exp, various f(n)'s.... and you don't have to store those segments information in the patch, because they are computed by a kinda of AI :) what do you think about it?
Yes, it's a good idea, and I was thinking about that last year when I was about to implement the feature for real. I had decided that wires would have three possible drawing-modes:
- non-segmented
- auto-segmented
- manually-segmented
Those three modes are per-wire, so a same patcher could contain a mix of the three modes of wires.
I haven't really tried any auto-segmentation, but I predict that users will want to do some manual segmentation too.
